Attorney General Griffin Announces Social Media Summit to be Held October 7-8 in Little Rock
Griffin: ‘The summit will bring together experts from various fields to educate people about the challenges and risks posed by social media, including scams, threats to minors, and interference by hostile foreign actors’
LITTLE ROCK – Attorney General Tim Griffin issued the following statement:
“I am excited to announce that I will host the Social Media Summit on October 7-8 at the Statehouse Convention Center and Marriott Hotel in downtown Little Rock. The summit will bring together experts from various fields to present on the challenges and risks posed by social media, including scams, threats to minors, and interference by hostile foreign actors.
“Admission to the summit is free and open to anyone interested in this topic. The sessions will be useful for law enforcement, educators, parents, mental-health professionals, those interested in cybersecurity and national security, and generally anyone who wants to know more about how to safely navigate the social-media landscape.
“This summit continues my tradition of hosting a large gathering each year to focus on a topic relevant to Arkansans. In 2023, I hosted the Human Trafficking Summit, and last year, I hosted the Cybersecurity Summit.
“Given my office’s activity in holding social-media platforms accountable through litigation, our work in internet crimes against children, and my focus on digital threats from foreign entities, particularly China, social media was a natural fit for this year’s summit.
“We have a fantastic lineup of presenters for the Social Media Summit, and we will announce them throughout the summer. I hope anyone who is interested in this topic will register—for free!—and join us on October 7-8.”
